Fresh Golden Donuts San Diego Reviews
Amazing place! We walk here every time we visit family in SD. Staff is very friendly and the doughnuts are incredible. Also the ham and cheese croissant with jalapeno is spectacular.
It's St. Patty's Day and I have 4 young girls in the house who wanted donuts. I thought it would be special to get them some St. Patty's Day themed donuts and, after 2 different donut places, this place came through! They had the coolest donuts for the holiday and I bought 6 of them. Thanks for making my girls happy!
Delicious just as I remembered them being when I was in high school! Going strong for 30 years, love the nostalgia of this place. Definitely try the buttermilk glazed donuts, they will not disappoint!

Always a good selection. The cinnamon rolls are amazing!

How anyone would wait for the overpriced, overrated coffee shop on the other side of the parking lot over going to this gem is beyond my comprehension. Absolutely amazing coffee and the food is delicious, oh yeah and they have donuts that are amazing.
I love sweets and will travel far to get them.Near Fresh Golden Donuts.Hands down are the best in San Diego. They blow the donut bar, out the water.Donut Bar looks good, but taste like garbage.Ya I said it.
The cinnamon roll and ube donut was truly delicious, had to stop myself from buying more or else my waist would grow 😂. Definitely recommended, and the prices are really good to!
It's donuts and they're fluffy amazing and reasonably priced wouldn't choose anywhere else
Golden Donut is my favorite spot in town! Just moved back to the area and am so happy to enjoy the deliciousness again. Such friendly faces behind the counter! Superb establishment!
This place is great! Today was the first time that I've been here. And I was so pleased! Their donuts are delicious. The glazes and the icings aren't too sweet, and the donuts have such a great texture. The ube donut was unexpectedly amazing! I loved it! And the lady who helped me today was so kind. I appreciate her so much! I'll be going here from now on. ⭐
Got this via door dash bc of a craving on a Saturday. Did not expect them to be the freshest donuts I’ve ever purchased. Maybe I got lucky, but the oil used was new, did not taste the oil. The box didn’t even get oil stains. Bread had a nice saltiness and flavor. Very glad I tried them out and I will definitely be back.
It’s very tempting having this place so close to home bc the donuts are delicious! The buttermilk bar, old fashioned, and raised donuts are my favorites. They always give me a little extra donut hole which is a nice treat. If you’re looking for donuts good for the soul, you’ll find some here.
Best donut I have ever put in my mouth. Hands down! Tried the ube blue yam donut it was so soft and delicious!! Hot fresh coffee was great! Breakfast sandwich on the everything bagel was great! And the half dozen donuts for the road will be finished momentarily. Haha. Highly recommend!! 10/10 Across the board!!
Man these are some tasty donuts. I tried a Boston cream and a fruity pebbles strawberry frosted. As a New Yorker who is used to Dunkin’ Donuts these were a step above in quality. Thanks fresh golden donuts!
Outstanding donuts. Even my wife, who has never enjoyed a donut, loved these when she tried here. Good coffee. Nice breakfast sandwiches and reasonable prices
Awesome Donuts! We always love grabbing a box in the morning. Maple and bacon ones are amazing. They have a wide variety but you have to go early. Definitely recommended!
Delicious and custom donuts! Just gotta ask. The cake donuts are good enough to enjoy without any toppings. I personally love the old fashioned. Also, the yeast donuts are perfectly textured with good chewy-ness.

I loved this spot. Local donut shop with friendly folks, fresh donuts and prompt no nonsense service. We enjoy going here before school/work and like the bacon maple.
Donuts taste very good and are fresh off the oven when we buy in the AM. I wish the coffee was acceptable for me to pour and add sugar/cream. Doors are propped open which lets in flies. But I only saw one on my short visit.

AVOID THIS PLACE! Went at 11:00am on Saturday. I got a "pig in a blanket" for my husband and an old fashioned for myself. Mine was dry and looked like it had been around for awhile. My husband took one bite of his and found a long black hair baked into it. 🤢 $6.00 for two donuts that had hair in them. Overall the place looked rundown and messy. Normally I wouldn't dunk on a place for being messy, but finding hair baked into the food? Nope.

It’s never worth making the drive out here. They are consistently out of items just a couple of hours after opening. Also, don’t get the mochi donuts. They are wayyyyy smaller than the normal sizes and the glazes are tasteless. They are not worth the $3.
Always order here.. the ham and cheese croissant is always not good. Today we ordered kolache‘s and ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast.. was asked for it to be warmed up.. she snapped with “it was made it’s still warm” got to the car and drove off.. took it out and bite the kolache’s and croissant it was COLD! Blehhh
